Ryoko Rimbaud, 41 years old, is a gentle lady who relaxes people in her surrounding. Probably this is because of her counseling profession – she is specialized in terminal care for children.

 

Because of her profession, her hairstyle has to be neat and suit her.

“I should not make my patients uncomfortable. My patients are very sensitive so I should avoid any feeling of wrongness.”

 

 

Actually before she met her hairstylist, Mr. Saida, she was not so much concerned about her hairstyle. She has a lot of hair volume with natural wave, which made it difficult to have a styling that she likes.

 

She is married to a French, and in her 30s she was too busy taking care of her children to take care of herself including her hairstyle.

An encounter with Mr. Saida gave her a different perspective regarding her hairstyle.

 

“I really like the hairstyle created by Mr. Saida. It is a natural style which I can keep, even if I move around a lot. Since I met him, I am more concerned about my hairstyle.”

 

 

For her new hairstyle, Mr. Saida created a style with hair volume contrast.

“For some parts, I gave volume, and for other parts I made it sharp to make an interesting contrast.” Mr. Saida explained.

 

Ryoko’s hair is also thick and hard.

 

 

“The style is a bob slightly longer on the front. There are two layers, and the section under her ear is cut 2 cm shorter than the other. He kept the over layer slightly heavier and the under layer lighter to make a good balance.” Mr. Saida explained.

 

Ryoko plays ballet, so he kept the length of her backside hair to allow her to tie up well her hair.

 

 

Ryoko is not only asking for advises, but also has a motivation to try new hairstyle.

 

“Hair grow anyway, so I should not be conservative for style. I would like to be more adventurous and trydifferent style.”

 

Ryoko’s trust on Mr. Saida changed her perspective on her hairstyle.

“ I ask a lot of questions to Mr. Saida to discover different styles. He always gives me good advises.”

 

Ryoko and her hairstylist’s relationship is interactive. This is an ideal relationship with one’s hairstylist that can introduce you different ways for your hairstyle.
